Breakdown: There's a great base at Vail, leaving tons of slushy snow on the mountain for closing weekend. But your wax can mean the difference between fun and frustration, make sure you have plenty of the warm weather stuff slathered on before you get out to the hill.

Snowcast: Expecthigh elevation snow showers on Saturday, mostly above 10,000 feet, with a few more showers popping up again on Sunday, reports meteorologist Joel Gratz with opensnow.com.
